East Meets West
“Folk” and Fantasy from the Coasts
Institute of Contemporary Art
University of Pennsylvania
Exhibition: May 12 – July 29, 2001
This exhibition showcases six young artists from Philadelphia and San Francisco who work in a folk and fantasy aesthetic. Their artistic vocabulary is informed by contemporary Indian and 19th-Century American sign painting, 1960s psychedelia, science book illustration, kitsch, Surrealism, children's art, and thrift store painting. Work includes painting and drawing (both on traditional surfaces and on ICA's walls) as well as installation and sculpture.
